Set during World War Two, Hut 33 follows the adventures of a team of codebreakers at Bletchley Park as they work tirelessly to break German codes, matching wits with the fabled Enigma Machine. Unfortunately, they hate each other. Archie is a stroppy Geordie socialist revolutionary while Professor Charles Gardner is a toffee-nosed snob. In theory, the immensely stupid 3rd Lt. Joshua Featherstonhaugh-Marshall is in charge of the hut, but he is still struggling with even the most basic concepts....

The Council has deemed Thea the only one capable of tracking down the last tablet needed to complete the Wild Hunt spell, and it just so happens to be deep in the alps. She will have to rely on herself and her teammates—some familiar, some not—as she navigates through unknown territory. Ambushes, predators that deceive, monsters that devour, and the unrelenting cold are but a taste of what the mountains have in store for her. She will come face-to-face with beings as old as time, truths long buried, and above everything else: dragons.

Summer, 1945. The war is over, and Germany has surrendered. Across Europe, the top surviving Nazis are being tracked down, arrested and imprisoned in a once-opulent Luxembourg hotel, on 24-hour suicide watch. Now, the Allies must decide what to do with them. After much deliberation, Britain, America, Russia and France agree that Hitler's high command must be formally tried. This will be an entirely new kind of trial, with utterly new charges: those of 'crimes against humanity' and 'genocide'. And before it can even take place, numerous crises and obstacles must be overcome.

RAFE: I swore I’d never go back to the ranch that brought me nothing but pain and heartbreak. But when my brother dies in a mysterious accident, what choice do I have? Once I’m there, it isn’t just seeing how my daughter flourishes that cracks open old wounds. It’s the woman with bluebell-colored eyes who shows me just how empty my life has become. SADIE: When the jewels in my grandmother’s attic lead me on an adventure to find our family’s roots, I never expect it to cost me my heart. And now that a tormented cowboy and his lonely daughter have claimed it, a little danger won’t scare me off.

Nine years ago, I ran for my life. Since then, I've slowly rebuilt what was taken from me. But it’s risky to let my roots grow too deep. Anyone I let close could pay the price if my past catches up with me. Then Cooper moves in next door. The devastatingly handsome sheriff and his teenage son aren’t supposed to become part of my carefully ordered world. Yet between shared meals, stolen glances, and the way they make room for me in their lives, I find myself craving the home and family I swore wasn’t in the cards.

Enter the world of Raen, turn left at the land of dragons, and you’ll find yourself in the country of Aeristria. A place overflowing with magic and creatures that were once only heard of in fairy tales. In the heart of Aeristria is the capital city Tolvade. Here you will find shops and taverns, laughter and fun, runesmiths looking for their next job, and sneaky pickpocketing imps. Steer clear of the galloping gang of centaurs, and you will see the headquarters of the prestigious Coven.

When Hell refuses to freeze over. Thea Bauer has earned her way to being a highly skilled member of the Coven. Ranked as a Spellweaver, she’s assigned the more dangerous missions. Corralling a herd of wild unicorns? No problem. Taking down a witch riding the high of black magic? Piece of cake. Finding out why magic-based creatures are suddenly flooding the local sanctuary, protected by a powerful sorceress with a hatred for the Coven? Thea might need more than her tethered demonic partner to see this mission through.

Who's afraid of the big bad wolves? Two weeks have passed since we've last seen our heroes as they received the news of hundreds of feral demon sightings. But, the summoning circles have opened a lot more than just Coven drama in the world of Raen. With the annual blizzard having just ended, the people still aren't clear of danger. The Coven is in chaos, and Vanessa and Bobo are widely known throughout for their previous achievements.

Jas expected to hear a tale of glory and heroism. He hadn’t planned on living it. Drenwell is in trouble. The idyllic nation teeters on the brink of disaster as one trouble after another lines up before it. Crops fail. Animals flee. Earthquakes rattle the land. In the midst of it all is the mountain, rising tall over the plains and forests. Legends passed down over the years place it as the center of the kingdom’s woes, host to an ancient, looming threat.

My World is Built on Debts and Deals. Beneath them all, you’ll find horrific secrets that we all hide. It’s lives. It’s souls. Scattered and countless, the dead have built towns, cities, and nations. They are forever damned in the afterlife because they wanted to live without fear. But did they really live without fear, or was it all an illusion? A pact between devils is the only thing that keeps villages out in the desert-like land untouched by the scourge of this planet.

All of Hell is Breaking Loose on Raen. The world Vanessa once knew is shattered, and the scattered pieces that are left behind make up a dark and twisted path that is shrouded in mystery. Piece by piece, her past is revealed to her at a rate that makes her head spin. She doesn’t know whom to trust and whom to believe anymore. As she comes to terms with all these things, our young witch finally gains a family heirloom that has been tucked away until the right time presented itself. A family grimoire. It holds more than spells and incantations.

It’s been days since the sanctuary showdown. Feral demons are still on the loose. The ones that have been caught are pushing Zaraltrac Prison past its limits. The Coven is still picking up the pieces of the former blue cloaks’ betrayal. And Thea... Thea is bored. She hasn’t been given an assignment yet, and it’s driving her crazy to be kept away from the action. That is until Second Chosen Winona waltzes into her presence once again, and she has more dirt on Thea than the Spellweaver ever thought possible.

After what had come to feel like an eternity, Takio has finally broken free. Ondria’s aid has been secured, along with the aid of the Wavebinder and his Tideborn. Darren’s army has been fought to a standstill, and the border belongs to the Riverguard.

The mountain. Held as his goal for so long, it fades into the distance as Jas leaves it behind. The world is bigger than he’d ever thought, he’s rapidly coming to realize. Darren’s spell lingers, clinging to him, but he’s no longer powerless to its commands. He finally has the strength to stand against it and a new identity to call his own, both gifts of the Everburning, the goddess Shiina. His powers are still new and unfamiliar, though, and his goddess is weak from her slumber.

There’s no more hiding, no negotiating truces or bargaining with half-allies. With Solune found, the last barrier to the war reaching its inevitable end has been cleared. But even with the Everdark distancing himself from the war, leaving his brother to fend off the onslaught of Shiina and Efren alone, it won’t be an easy victory. Drenwell is an old country, strong and well established, and it will fight fiercely to protect its god and people. The war cannot be fought without sacrifice - something each of them knows all too well.
